Graduate Early or Double Major?

So, because I took a lot of AP’s in high school, I’ll have enough credits to finish my biology degree a year early in Spring 2018. Even though this is great, I haven’t made any preparations for grad school like taking the GRE and looking into programs I like because I still don’t know what I want to so with my bio degree. I was thinking of making my minor a second major (Latin American Studies) and graduating in 2019, as planned but I don’t know if I’d use that degree in the future. I guess taking a year off is always an option, but I don’t know what I’d do with all that time. Thank you :slight_smile:

Does your school have any sort of programs where it helps you get co ops or internships? What if you worked for a year?

Yeah, it does but only if you’re enrolled as a student. I’m doing one this year, but after I graduate, they’ll give it to a different student.

I mean, you could just go into the workforce after you graduate - working with your degree might give you some ideas about what you want to do - or what you don’t want to do.

One of my friends got a bio degree because he found it interesting but he had no idea what he wanted to do with his life. After living in Tacoma for a few years he realized he really liked working in the branch of government that goes out and tests water and fish to make sure the ecosystem is balanced/safe so he’s going to get a fish & wildlife masters.
